The graphics and soundtrack are amazing, but sometimes i was having some frame drops to like 10-15 fps when i was near a waterfall or near rushing waters even with graphics set on low.

I especially loved the open-world portion of chapter 3 and spent many hours there.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music in this game is almost worth the experience alone, the sound design is excellent and the story experience is well crafted and awesome to enjoy.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
For me, the game manages to balance the level of difficulty well; too challenging puzzles would ruin the atmosphere of the game and too easy puzzles would make it boring.
